EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques is a form of psychological acupressure. With EFT you are tapping on various acupuncture meridian points while you focus on a negative issue you would like to change.

About 5,000 years ago, the Chinese discovered a complex system of energy circuits that run throughout the body. These energy circuits, or meridians, are the centerpiece of
Eastern health practices and form the basis for modern day acupuncture, acupressure and a wide variety of other healing techniques.

With EFT, we are using a tapping technique instead of needles to stimulate traditional Chinese acupuncture points. While tapping various points on the face and body we are also verbalizing the issue followed by a general affirmation phrase.

EFT works on the physical and emotional level. You don’t have to believe it will work in order to get results. Many people have been skeptical when they first tried it.

Here’s a quote from Gary Craig’s EFT Manual:

“The cause of ALL negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system. This includes fears, phobias, anger, grief, anxiety, depression, traumatic memories, PTSD, worry, guilt and all limiting emotions in sports, business and the performing arts. That’s a comprehensive list and covers just about every restrictive emotion we can experience.”

“Differently stated, this means that all these negative emotions have the same cause…. an electrical “zzzzzt” in the body. It also means…they can all be relieved in a
similar manner.”

Everything we experience in our past from childhood on up affects our programming. Some of those experiences were very stressful, maybe even traumatic. The negative experiences around those events become an electrical “zzzzzt” in the body which can become blocks that affect our business and other things we want to do in life.

Here is an example from my life:
When I was 9 years old I was abducted by a stranger. I was able to escape but the event was terrifying. It affected me from that point on. I was afraid to go anywhere alone and I didn’t trust strangers. I have had subconscious protection programming going on that contributed to my not feeling comfortable in visible leadership roles. Actually it was quite a bit more than an uncomfortable feeling.

When I started my my network marketing career 17 years ago, it was in spite of an intense fear of being a leader. At first I didn’t understand why I was so afraid. All I knew is that I knew I had to be a leader if I wanted success in network marketing. I pressed on in spite of the fear.

I didn’t know EFT in the beginning but I was bull headed and would not give up. I knew my WHY and I was determined to be successful. You know how they say your WHY should make you cry? Mine did and STILL DOES!

That childhood memory caused me to be afraid to go anywhere alone, afraid to be visible and afraid to trust strangers. You can imagine how that would cause a lot of limiting beliefs in a business where I have to be a visible leader and talk to strangers.

When I learned EFT things really started shifting. I was able to remove the negative emotions around the abduction attempt and start clearing the layers of protection I have put up. I have even traveled alone, on a plane. Fear of flying is another fear I was able to remove with EFT.

I admit, I am still working on some things but I know I have power in tapping.
The reason I tell you this is because, if I can get through my issues and become a successful network marketing leader, then surely you can too. I have changed so much over the years thanks to personal development and EFT. It’s why I love to help people learn EFT and what Esteem Power Newsletter is all about.

EFT also works nicely removing limiting beliefs and negative emotions around the Law Of Attraction.

Anyway …

Just thought it might help you understand how useful EFT can be for you to release your own emotional blocks and limitations.

At first glance perfectionism seems like a good thing. We all want to do things well but in reality perfectionism is killing the progress in many network marketers business.

I hear it all the time. “I can’t start selling the products until I learn more.” I don’t know enough to build a business.” “I don’t know how to be a leader yet.”

I have heard all kinds of reasons why people can’t build their business yet. It is the number one reason people give me as to why they don’t want to start writing a blog. They don’t feel like they know enough so they will wait until they know more.

Funny thing that happens when you wait until you know enough. You never seem to get to that point. There will ALWAYS be more to learn. Our fears can keep us stuck in a state of analysis paralysis. There is no perfect person on the planet! We are all human and we WILL make mistakes.

I love that quote by Joe Schroeder, “You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it GOING!” The way to get anywhere is to start from where you are right now and learn as you go.

Here is the key:

Learn things –> Share what you learned! –> Repeat –> Learn things –> Share!

If you are writing a newsletter or a blog, you can share things you are learning. Share things that will benefit other people. There are many people in need of the things you have learned. Even if you are a brand spanking new distributor, you can start writing a blog.

Writing a blog and building a list is one really powerful way to build your business. It’s absolutely HUGE in importance, especially if you have any plan to do any online marketing.

Once you begin writing your blog, don’t be so worried about getting it perfect. Just get it going.

I know how easily you can get caught up in details and perfectionism. It’s something I have struggled with over the years in my business. When you find yourself stalled because of trying to get things just right, remind yourself of Joe’s words.

“You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it GOING!”

You also may want to try the EFT Tapping Session below to help clear feelings of needing things to be perfect. I love EFT for this kind of thing. It really helps me get back on track. Believe me, I use EFT all the time to deal with stresses of business and life in general. It’s a tool I am grateful someone shared with me and I hope you benefit as much as I have.

It may seem a little harsh but I’m telling you now, if you don’t love what you do, you don’t have much chance for success in network marketing. The failure rate is pretty high in this industry but you CAN increase your odds for success.

Well, first thing is, let’s lose that word ODDS. It’s not about odds. It’s about YOU and what you do, but one thing that is a major help in your success is liking what you do.

Those who are really successful in network marketing really love what they are doing. Not only do they like the network marketing industry and the company they are with but they also love marketing and promoting their business.

That’s the part I want to talk to you about today. Actually finding pleasure in marketing your business. I heard someone say once, “Find the work you love, and the compensation will follow.” That can be applied to the type of marketing you choose to promote your business. There are LOTS of ways to do that.

When I first began my network marketing career 17 years ago I was in a company that was not right for me and I hated what I was doing. They had us doing hotel meetings, 3 way calls on friends and family and other things that just did NOT fit my style. I stuck with that first company for 2 years until I just could not continue. I really did not like what I was doing. I loved the idea of working from home and having time and financial freedom but it seemed like something unattainable.

When another opportunity came along that felt like a better fit, I decided to give it another go. This time I would do things in a way that felt comfortable to me. That was 15 years ago and I am very glad I didn’t give up on my dreams to work from home.

The key for me was to learn ways to market my business that I could really enjoy. I needed to get people coming to me. I had no intention of chasing after people.

There are LOTS of ways to market your business and get leads coming to you. Find the ones that fit your style. Get your systems in place. Learn the skills and the mindset you need, then practice until you get better.

The best training I have found that covers most everything a serious network marketer needs is MyLeadSystemPro.

The more you love what you are doing, the more successful it will be for you.

I invite you to try a 14 day test drive: ==> http://mlsptestdrive.com

WHOA!! Put on the brakes. There is a big MINDSET problem that plagues a lot of network marketers. It is an Employee Mindset and it MUST be addressed.

If you are serious about building a successful network marketing business, you must get out of the Employee Mindset and start functioning like a business owner.

As a independent distributor you are CEO of your own company. It’s a serious business.

If you want to earn a serious income, it is important that you stop thinking like an employee and start thinking like an ENTREPRENEUR! Start every day with that in mind until it becomes second nature. Each day ask yourself, “What would the entrepreneur do today to grow his business?”

You MUST break free of Employee Mindset if you want to build a serious income. You also need to be able to recognize Employee Mindset so you can change any patterns that you may have developed that lean in that direction.

Here are a few examples . . .

Employee Mindset trades time for dollars and most do the minimum required. Some even delight at wasting time while the boss isn’t looking. “Hey, they pay by the hour and nobody is watching, I’ll sneak in a little Bejeweled or talk with co-workers about favorite TV shows.”

The Entrepreneur Mindset knows that time is a most important asset and is not to be squandered. He knows that the amount of income he earns depends on the daily actions he performs. He never just shows up and does a minimal amount of work.

The Employee Mindset waits for someone to tell them what to do. They act on what the boss tells them what to do and they expect to get paid whether the project succeeds or fails.

Entrepreneur has to do the thinking and knows that success or failure depends on what they DO. To make sure they are successful and thus GET PAID, they do the research, learn the skills they need, do the advertising. They find out what needs to be done and then they take ACTION.

When they see something isn’t working, they find out why and then make adjustments until it IS working.

Employee Mindset usually has their money spent before it is in their hands.
Entrepreneur knows that the time and money they spend is an investment in their future. They are willing to put in the time, knowing that it will be GROWING into something substantial.

Employee Mindset gets scared when the economy is down and retreats to the illusion of job security.

Entrepreneur sees the opportunity is increasing since more people need what we have to offer.

And . . .

Since the ones with Employee Mindset fled the scene, there will be less competition.

Each day, as you are doing the days tasks, keep the Entrepreneur Mindset before you.

Now here is a little trick: As you are keeping in the Entrepreneur Mindset, remember ONE thing about being an employee. Have set times where you SHOW UP to do focused work.

Sometimes working from home can be a curse if you don’t have the discipline to get things done. For that, I recommend a daily plan of action or a “To Do List” and pretend you are an employee. The difference here is that you work for yourself!

On a side note: As you probably know I love to talk about self-esteem. Well, getting this Entrepreneur Mindset is great for your self-esteem. As you go through this process and build your business, your self-esteem grows. That in turn helps you get better at growing your business.

If you are serious about success in network marketing, you MUST take your personal development seriously. I can not stress that enough.

Personal development is at the root of every successful full time network marketer. I would be willing to say it is the absolute most important ingredient for success.

Every bit of personal development you do will increase your skills, your confidence, your comfort level, your value in the market place, your ability to attract abundance.

Personal development will not only improve your leadership skills, it will also help others take you seriously as a leader which in turn will attract people to you.

Personal development also helps build your self-esteem which is another important ingredient for success in network marketing.

Your business will only grow as much as you do. I recommend reading 10 pages of a book each day, subscribe to marketing newsletters and READ THEM, listen to training audios, attending webinars, attend any company events you can manage.

If you are serious about your business, you will invest in marketing training that will help you learn marketing skills that really work. That is why I recommend MyLeadSystemPro. I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with the training and systems they have.

As the economy gets worse, more and more people are looking for new income sources either to supplement or even replace the income they have. Now is the time to take your business seriously and start preparing to be the leader that will show them the way.
